“The general practitioner is a doctor who provides personal, primary and continuing medical care to individuals and families. His diagnoses will be composed in physical, psychological and social terms. He will intervene educationally, preventively and therapeutically to promote his patient’s health.”

It is therefore our responsibility to provide appropriate education for patients and their family members and significant others regarding their disease or illness and the skills or behaviours needed to promote recovery and improve function and self-care. We will care for you when you are sick and when you are well.
